9x18: The Parking Lot Art Experiment


The alternative art fair where artists take over parking spaces

9x18: The Parking Lot Art Experiment - an alternative/performative/experimental/live art fair takes over a parking lot. “9x18” describes the dimensions of a standard parking space, and that space constraint is the only rule to abide by for this fair. Tents, wire hangers, and plastic sleeves for goods sold will be absent from this fair. Instead, viewers will be inundated with performance, art actions, experimental engagements, and ephemeral works. 

August 20th, 2022 is the next 9x18! Don’t miss it!

9x18 came about when a group of local creatives asked a simple question, “Where can artists who don’t create “things” and sell commodified objects showcase their work to a large and accessible public?” 9x18 aims to answer this question and change the way we look at art fairs. 9x18 is less about purchasing work (though there will be some opportunity for that), and more about creating an immersive experience.
